Elm Lake at Elm Lake Golf Course

Elm Lake Golf Course is a public facility in Columbus, Mississippi, designed by Kevin Tucker. The course serves the local golfing community in this northeastern Mississippi city, which sits along the Tombigbee River in Lowndes County. Columbus has a modest golf infrastructure, and Elm Lake provides accessible play in a region where public options are valued by residents and visitors traveling through the area.

Tucker's design work in Mississippi and the surrounding region typically emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while working within the rolling terrain and pine-hardwood landscapes common to this part of the state. Courses in this area often feature tree-lined fairways, modest elevation changes, and greens that reflect the natural drainage patterns of the land. The climate allows for year-round play, with Bermuda grass surfaces standard for the growing season.

Elm Lake serves as a straightforward daily-fee option without the tournament pedigree or national recognition of Mississippi's better-known courses. The facility focuses on providing reliable conditions and a welcoming atmosphere for local leagues, casual rounds, and golfers seeking an unpretentious experience. Columbus itself has historical significance as a manufacturing and educational center, and the course fits into the recreational fabric of a city that balances its antebellum heritage with its role as home to Mississippi University for Women and an Air Force base.
